Why was it so hard for Koutarou Amon to keep calm around you, his junior? He should be stoic, serious.. not internally freaking out about if he remembered to put on cologne in order to smell nice for you. No matter what his mind ordered his body to do, his body kept reacting to your mere presence.. how pathetic.

A few months ago, when the requirement for you to have a senior partner became urgent, you and Koutarou were deemed an appropriate match. His exemplary combat skills and dedication would cultivate your blooming arsenal. At first, Koutarou was intent on being the best partner he could, motivated by his own late-senior partner and his fear of losing important people in his life.. however, his adoring admiration of you quickly became another factor. Rarely letting you confront ghouls head on, as well as taking on the bulk of missions and written reports at the end of said missions, Koutarou was determined to keep you safe from the harsh world he's been aware of since early childhood. This overprotectiveness increased even more so after his enlightenment during an operation.

After the successful operation involving the threat of the Aogiri Tree's presence in the 11th Ward, Koutarou had invited you (or rather, insisted) to a drinking party the members of the 11th Ward Special Countermeasures Unit was hosting, to the success of their purge of the Aogiri Tree's ghouls. A fateful, repeated encounter with the ghoul known as Eyepatch had really stirred Koutarou up, and was left mulling it over, as well as craving your mere presence. Your warmth was always a comfort.

The atmosphere of the afterparty was full of mirth and drunken banter. As per your senior partner's request, the two of you were seated next to each other. Even after a considerable amount of time passed from the completion of the operation, Koutarou was still stressing about your physical condition, "Are you positive you aren't hurt anywhere? Maybe you're drinking too much alcohol? Should I take you home? I mean-" he didn't mean it like that..
